2nd While the Association was in
session in Atlanta, its members were
entertained in a royal manner by
those t*o great Southern
dailies, the Atlanta Constitution and
the Atlanta Journal, whose work for
the upbuilding of this sunny South
land can never be over stimated. The
many favors they extended to heir fel
low journalists were highly appreciated
and w il! not be forgotteD.
drd. To Mr. S. M. Fe.ton. president
of the EaBt, Tennessee, Vugiu... and
Georgia system of raii.vays wil the
Association feel forever grateful for
transportation to Chicago and from
Cincinnati home. We recognize in this
great system of railways one of the
greatest factors in the general upbuild
ing of the South, and feel that it should
be the amhi.ion of every citizen and
t.e'vspaper to aid in its great
work for the development of our
commercial and industrial interests.

4. In Chicago the Association re
ceived at the hands i 1 Colonel Thomas
B. Kryai , Viet President of the
World’s Columbian Exeisition, a cor
dial welcome, w hich we remember very
p easantlv. His p rs mal courtesies
added much to tne pleasure of our stay
in the grest Western Me
tropolis, and h s informal’- n
concerning t ie Wor d’s Fair wa- re
ceived with appreciation and deep in

6:h To Colonel John T. Mack, editor

Messrs. F. ID Gles a ner and T. C Rey
nolds, represeuiing tin Ooio Dailies we
are due lasting gratitude for their kind
attention to us while travelling through
the State of Ohio. We learned wiih
profound gratitication that Colonel
Mack has beeu doing a noble service to
all Southerners by repairing
the cemet-ry and keeping green the
graves of Confederate soldiers on histo
ric Johnson’s Island and especially do
we thank him in the name of the lost,
cause and a re-united republic for this
kuightiy labor of love.
t>. Tbe entertainment received at tbe
hands of tbe people of Catawba and
Kelley’s Island added no little to our
pleasant visit to these interesting places,
and we found a tour of inspection
through Ihe famous wine cellars of
these Islands as instructive as it was
pleasant.
7. We remember with much pleasu-e
the courtesy extended us by Mr. Stra-
nahan Deputy U S. fi-h Commissioner
in the use of a government boat and
visit to the United S ates fishery, and to
Mr. J. H T illotsoo, proprietor of Hotel
Victory, at Put in-Bay, for hospitable
entertainment do we feel thankful.
Sth. To the hospitable citizens of
Sandusky we feel grateful for their

route, one of Ohio’s most popular and
most prosperous railroads, were polite
and oh'iging to us The trip bv this
route from Sandusky to Cincinnati was
no small part of the great excursion
we eO much enjoyed
10. To all towns along the route we
feel profoundly gra’eful for the courte

ery step we met spontaneous and heart
felt kindness
11. We suggest that th president of

The best medical authorities say the
proper way to treat catarrh is to take a
constitutional remedy, like Hood’s
Sarsaparilla.
M a yob’s Court.—Mayor’s court yes
terday was not very -interesting save
from tbe fact that old Tom Reed was
banished - from the city for all time
under penalty of being put at work on
the streets.
“Did You Evck Notice That.”—Did
you ever notice that when the Glee
Club is booked for a concert here the
house is sure to be filled Well on tbe
fourth of December the Glee Club is
booked for a concert here and the house
is sure to be filled.
A Gracious Revival.—Rev. C. A.
Couaway has been conducting a revival
at Princeton for several da vs and it has
resulted in great good. It is still in
progress and great interest is mani
fested in the meetings. Last Sunday
night, there were twenty penitents at
the altar for prayer.
“You Know the Rest.”—Theie are
a great many youug gentlemen in the
ci y who lack the courage to pop the
question. Samuel Smirks gave them a
cue last night at the opera house. All
that is necessary now is simply to say
to your lady love: “ ! -!
!, you know the rest.”
A MAMMOTH SCHEME
WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED BY
THE GLEE CLUB.
THE YALE CLUB COMING
And Will be Entertained by the Unl-
v erslty Glee Club-Matters of In
terest Gathered on the Campus.
The Glee Club, as the Banner has
already stated, will give their first en
tertainment here on Friday night, De
cember the fourth, in tbe opera house,
and will follow this by entertainments
in Atlanta and Augusta, where .they
will be very royally entertained.
On this trip the club will make a snug
little sum after paying all their expen
ses and some are now thinking of the
use this money will be put to.
Last year tbe Glee Club gave only one
entertainment here and was able
to give the Athletic Association of the
University a check for one hundred
dollars,
This year there will be several ways
in which this money will be spent. Ou
the fifth of January, the Yale Glee Club
will be in Athens when it will give one
of its excellent concerts, and no doubt
the University club will entertain tnern
while here. .
Tnen the club Is very much concerned
in anything which tends toward tbe
physical development of the students,
and tbe Athletic Association baa no
truer nor stauncher friend than tbe
Glee Club, and this club, wil' this year,
uo doubt, take it upon itself, to enlarge
and level the ball and drill ground
The Faculty very readily saw this and
granted the club its unanimous consent
to make the trip to Atlanta and Au
gusta.
The three members of the faculty who
are also members of the club are uni
versal favorites with the boys and they
will of course go with them on their
trips.

A New City Attorney.—City Attor
ney Tinsley W. Rucker began his duties
yesterday at Mayor’s court. He had
been there before and knew just how to
manipulate the cases. In the hands of
Col. Rucker all the legal business of
the city is perfectly safe and will be
most admirably conducted.
PILGRIM’S PR06SESS
Will be the Subject of a Series of
Lectures.
Rev. T. It. Kendall, pastor of the
FirstiMethodist church, will delivet
several lectures on that famous book,
Buuyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.
He will begin his series of lectures
Thursday nigl t at the First Methodist
church and wili continue them from
week to week u r some time.
Dr. Kendall will illustrate these
ctures with many beautiful portraits
nd views, iu addition to giving a very
lull and instructive treaties upon tbe
merits of the hook.
That they will be of the greatest in
terest goes without saving, and a large
uinberofour citizens will doubtless
attend each leciure.
They will be interesting lectures by
an interesting speaker upon an inter

To the Gainesville Fair.—Several
A tbenians left yesterday for tbe Gaines
vilie Fair and several more will go over
today. The Queen City of the Mount
ains lias certainly spread herself and
exerted every effort to make the Fair a
grand success ana her mo t ardent
hop-s in this direction are being re
alized.
Patti Rosa whose engagement at the

on the American stag--. Her supremacy
'n her particular field of work is every

tirement of Lotta there is no one whose
rivalry can be admitted To a bright
and winsome personal appearance, Pat
ti Rosa adds tbe highest order of come
dy talents and that suble magnetism
that is so rare a quality in stage work
ers. Her appearances here will be in
her delightful play “Dolly Varden”
in which the full strength of her work
is shown. It is a play in which abe de
lights and the romping jovial spirit of
fqn pervades her every speech aod ac
tion. Her supporting company this sea
son is without doubt the best ever or
ganized for similar work. She has a
host of new and catchy gongs with
which to regale her audiences. The de
sire to see her will be so general that
the wisdom of securing seats early is
obvious.
Reserved seats now on sale.
THE COUNCIL MEETS To-DAY
To Decide Concerning the Cemetery
Bridge.
Yesterday several members of the
city council, along with Mayor Brown
and city attorney Rucker went over
to look at the bridge on Cemetery
street over the Macon and Northern
railroad.
They also were considering a propo
sition made by the railroad company.
This matter is now in litigation and the
case is set for a hearing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a settlement may be
reeched and further litigation avoided.
The railroad makes the proposition
to tbe city that it will buy up sufficient
land around the bridge to make easy
and convenient approaches on each
side.
The city council convenes today at
eleven c’clock to consider this proposi
tion and tbe matter may be then and
there determined. If not then the man
damns case will be beard tomorrow.
La Grippe again.
During tbe epidemic of La Grippe
last season Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
proved to be the best remedy. Reports
from the many who used it confirm this
statement, They were not only quick
ly relieved, but the disease left no bad
uter results. We ask you to give this
remedy a trial and we guarantee that
yon will be satisfied with results, or
the purchase price will be refunded.
It has no equal in La Grippe, or any

In Atlanta and Augusta the boys are
to be roya.ly entertained and the so
ciety columns of the papers in these ci
ties are alive with Glee Club gossip
In these cities the club has many en
thusiastic alumni who are hard at work
to help tbe already assured success of
the club.
REMEMBER THE DATE.
Let all Athenians remember the date
of the clubs appearance here, and turn
outen masse to help them on.
A group of the club is now on exhi
bition in the window of McKean &
Gardner’s studio, and is certainly a fin.-
piece of photographical art.
University Foot Ball Team.—The
University hoys have organized their
foot ball team for the year. Mr. Frank
llerty is the captain of the team and it
is composed of playeis of superior
merit. It is more than probable that a
match game will be -arranged between
the. Univeriity of Gehrgia auu the L .ii-
veisity of the South.
Put It On Wrong.—A certain young
gentlemen in Adieus went out the other
d iy to harm sa a horse, and after almost
finishing came at last to putting on his
cillar. He started right, hut a frien
near by told him he was wrong and
that it was a Freneh collar belonging b\
rights over the horse’s tail. The young
man put it on accordingly.
The Uniforms Here.—The uniforms
of the University cadets are here. They
arrived yesterday being shipped from
the house of the M C. Lilly Company in
Ohio. As a rule the clothes fit the boys
splendidly and in their uew suits they
will present a handsome appearance.
Mr. U. D Collum, their popular and
eflleient agent, is now in the city.
NIGHT SERVICES
Will Hereafter be Held In the Presby
terian Church,
Last Sunday night, the pastor of the
Presbyterian church began holding
eveuing services in that sanctuary.
Quite a number of the members of the
church and congregation were preaent
and Dr. Lane preached a very interest
ing sermon.
The music which '.had been arranged
was delightful and was highly enjoyed
Miss Wacks, the, efficient teacher of
vocal music at Lucy Cobb Institute,
sang most beau ifully^a song composed
by Miss Di Bowski.also of tbe Institute.
These services will be kept up regu
larly and will be tbe source of great
good in tbe cause of religion.
Our success is due to strict attention
to business and an appreciative public
Everybody has caught on. Jackson &

A RIGHTFUL DENIAL,
Mr. W. B. Loehr Writes a Card Be
coming of the Man.
Mr. Editor:—I am reliably informed
that an article appeared in tbe Athens
Ledger of a recent date making the
statement that my family was neglected
during our recent illness and that th*
people of Athens should be ashamed oi
themselves lor thus neglecting us.
In justice to my many friends who so
willingly and promptly aided ns in
eyery possible way. I denonnee the
statement as false. My family wis not
neglected, but received the best oi
treatment from the people all over
Athens.
To one and all, who did ao kindly
wait upon my afflicted family, and for
every act of charity and love they have
shown us 1 feel profoundly thankful
and will ever cherish a warm spot in
my heart for them.
Very respectfully,
W. B. Loehr.

•LOVE FINDS A WAY.”
Katie Putnam Charmb the Audience
at the Opera House.
Nearly four years ago the new opera
house was formally opened with the
presentation of the play, “Erma the
Elf.”
And it was Katie Futnain that acted
the leading role that night.;
List evening at the opera house that
charming little actress appeared again
before an Athens audience in “Love
Finds a Way.”
She kept up her past reputation most
splendidly.
As Gay Howard, Katie Putnam em
bodied all the charms and grace of the
little girl of sweet sixteen. Her sing
ing was especially enjoyable, and the
song “Love will find a way” was encor
ed heartily.
Dan Bradley, “a rum braudied and
braudied rum old toper,” as presented
by Lew Hart was very fine, and the
manly way in which he forsook his
cups and reformed his .life was deeply
impressive.
Edwin Gardner, as Samuel Smirks,
or more familiarly known as “You
Know the Rest,” was in the slang ver
nacular simply “out of sight.” He is a
man of beautiful build, long, graceful
limbs, and knew how to gesticnlate with
them according to the latest style. His
dancing was splendid and evoked much
applause and laughter. He sung sever
al songs that took exceedingly well, but
he certainly made a great hit by his
song “Did You Ever Notice That?
All the parts were carried out well
and the large audience present was
highly pleased.
Katie Putnam ’ will always be well
received in Athens for she christened
our little gem of an Opera House.
Marriage is a- funny thing.
I. is a puzzle any way vou tak» if ’*«*•*>
d^ys.whic p tads me to declare th I*
afraid matrimony is not regained ... .t
as much seriousness of late as it once
was nor as much as it ought to receive.
But it is funny to study some mar
riages How strangely they are entered
by the contracting parties and how
wonderfully 5 trangely they are broken
off after a lew 'brief years
of social wedded blis->.
* * *
Did you ever stand witness to a wed
ding which was interrupted just at that
point where the preacher . a .i that any
body who has objections, to speak out,
or forever hold his peace ?
One veiy frequently reads of such
things in fiction and romance, but he
would hardly believe his own ears if he
should set isily witness such a proceed
ing in real life. But they happeu now
and then,
1 was talking on this same subject
with a minister of the gospel the other
day, and 1 asked him if be had ever been
stopped in conducting a marriage cere
mony by such opposition.
“No,” ?aid he, “but I was met at th»
front gate one day by a relative of a g rl
who was to be marneand begge.T r.o.
to marry her to her prospective biide
groom. Tears were streaming down
the woman’s cheek as she asked me
please not to let the marriage take
place.”
“What did you doaboutit?” I asked
“I went to tho bridegroom aud told
him there was going to be trouble in
the camp, and told him if he wanted to
marry the woman he would have to
get auother preacher. And he did it,
hut transferred the scene of his nup
tials to some other house.”
“The strangest and yet the most
pathetic marriage scene I ever saw,”
continued the miuister, “was here in
Athens one day when 1 was called in
to conduct the ceremony
which would make a wife of a very
pretty and rich young girl.
“The couple stood before me, and
when I asked the man—a handsome
young teilow he was—if he would take
the woman for his “wedded wife to
love, honor,” etc. He made no
response.
“Everything grew deathly still and
the poor man’s heart was almost burst
ing out of his throat. He looked stead
fastly ou tbe ground without moving
his lips.
“I repeated the inquiry from the cere
mony but still he made no reply.
Everybody stood by in breathless si
lence and the very air was red hot with
tragedy. Finally he leaped frantically
upon the sofa near by and buried his
burning face deep into the cushioned
pillows, groaning like some wild beast.
“His bride coaxed him finally into
standing up once more and murmuring
out some kind of answer aDd I pro
non need them man and wife, but not
until he answered that question.”

city was Miss Mamie Nichols, who has
neen the guest of Miss Katie Louise
DuBose for some time,but who return-
ed to her home in Washington D. C
this morning. Miss Nichols
is an unusually bright
and interesting young lady with a pret
ty face and figure. She has made ma
ny friends during her short stay in
Athens who regret to see her leave.
I have often heard of marriages being
bn ken off at the last hour.
The funniest 1 ever heard of, though,
was once when tbe bride, attired in veil
Hnd satin dres«, slipped out of the back
door and through the garden before her
would be husband came.
The funny part of it all was that
he took it most good naturedly
aod made his weddiDg party all get
down aDd carouse on his bride’s wed
ding dinner and wine until a late hour
at night.
The woman married somebody else in
after life and is happy. So did he, and
happy, too.
But, as 1 said before marriage is l
strange affair any way you take it. Is
it a failure?
Ask me something easier.

Duluth, Minn., Nor. 0.—The great
coal pile on the Northwestern Fuel
company’s docks is still on fire, althongh
water has been pouring into the burn
ing mass at the rate of 1,800 gaSons per
minnte since last Friday. The firemen
cannot reach the hottest portion of the
blaze. The fuel company has asked
the Minneapolis fire department for an
engine, which is expected during the
day.
If the air reaches the smouldering fire
the whole mass, containing thousands
of tons of coal, is likely to be destroyed.
Some of the largest elevators lie near
the coal docks. The Duluth fire depart
ment is working in relays of six hours
each. Nothing further is known of the
cause than it believed to be spontaneous
combustion.
The full extent of the loss is not yet
known but will doubtlesf reach into
bnftdveds of tht ri i gi>ti J g of dollars.

An Awful Crime.
Binohampton. N. Y., Nov. 9. —The
barn of Rich-ird F -otc, in Windsor, this
county, was burned, and the charred
remains of Foote were found in the
ruins. Foote was old and his wife
young. Certain actions of Mrs. Foote
after the fire and reiKirts concerning her
intimate relations with John Furman,
a resident of the neighborhood, aroused
suspicion. An investigation was insti
tuted and Mrs. Foote confessed that
her hu band left the house at 9 o'clock
in the morning and went toward the
bam. About twenty minutes later
Furman came into the house with blood
on his hands and clothes and told her
he had killed Foote with a club. She
went to the bam with Furman and saw
Foote lying dead. Furman returned to
the house, procured some kerosene, and,
after saturating the body with it, set
the barn on fire. Furman and Mrs.
Foote are under Arrest.
Germany Como, to Term*.
New York, Nov. 9.—A special to The
World from Washington says the new
reciprocity treaty with Germany will
probably he announced at the coming
meeting of the German reichstag. The
details have been perfected and the
treaty has been made, bnt the German
minister asked the privilege of making
the first formal announcement in Ger
many. The substantial outli les of the
treaty are concessions to tins country
on breadstuffs and cereals, no higher
than the duties conceded to Austria-
Hungary by the new treaty with that
country. These duties are about one-
half those charged upon similar pro
ducts from other countries. Germany
makes these concessions in return for
the free entry of beet root sugar.

edgment by the people of Ireland for
